[*]Editor’s Note: From 1966 onwards, the author had conceived in his
mind a twin-production: (1) Chinese
Philosophy: Its Spirit and Its Development and (2) Ideals of Life and Patterns of Culture: Prolegomena to A Comparative
Philosophy of Life, the latter being an outcome of a series of lectures he
delivered at the National Taiwan University from the 50s to the 60s.To our lasting regret, however, this project
was permanently delayed due to the author’s premature death caused by cancer,
thus leaving us with only a glimpse of this “Unfinished Symphony” as reflected
in its splendor and magnitude through the “Analytic Table of Contents” herewith
appended. (Courtesy of Mrs. Lillian K. Fang)
